Dhamma community unites at WACANA 2025

On Saturday 20 December, over 650 members of the Dhamma community from Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Thailand gathered for WACANA 2025, to learn and explore ‘Community Well-being : Contemporary Approaches’. We were privileged to host the four-fold Sangha of monks, nuns, male and female laity to look deeper into the Buddha’s teaching of “Avoid the Unwholesome, Cultivate the Wholesome and Purify One's Mind” for our own cultivation and equally for the growth of the community.
